Job description

DigiStream Investigations, a fast-growing, national private investigation firm, seeks a talented addition to our investigative team in the greater Chicago region.

This isn’t your average desk job - being a Surveillance Investigator means you’ll have a career with excitement, travel, autonomy, and purpose. This role is meant for an individual with an adventurous and curious spirit, and the drive to provide our clients with the evidence they need to defend their cases.

What you’ll get:

• A foot in the door to the investigations/security/law enforcement fields
• Experience conducting covert investigations
• A job you’ll love going to - no one day is the same
• Opportunities for growth within the company via our Surveillance Investigator Promotion Track
• Unlike most PI companies, DigiStream provides full benefits, a company vehicle and paid travel
• Professional, hands-on training program developed over the course of 20 years
• Quarterly team-building events and comradery with fellow team members
• The skills you learn here can lead to jobs in:
• FBI / Law Enforcement
• ATF / US Border Patrol / State Crime Lab
• Law / Paralegal / Legal Assistant
• Security / Corporate Investigations
• Investigative Journalism

What a day in the life of an investigator looks like:

• Monitoring, following, and videotaping subjects as they conduct their day-to-day activities
• Vehicle and foot pursuit of subjects while maintaining cover
• Activity varies from filming someone at a grocery story to filming them at a sports game
• Crafting pre-surveillance strategies based on the setup location and case details
• Detailed report writing on the activities observed/captured and submission of video evidence
• Regular communication with team leader on setup positions, activity and tactics

• Ability to start work as early as 5:00 am daily with occasional work into the evenings
• Must currently live in the greater Chicago area
• Ability to pass DMV check & background check
• Confident driving skills
• No PI license required - we cover the licensure cost and guide you through the process

Compensation/benefits:

• Entry-level pay: $18.00 per hour, overtime paid according to State/Federal guidelines
• First year estimated compensation range: $40,000 - $45,000, frequent overtime
• Employee Benefits: Health, dental, vision, life insurance, and 401(k) with up to 4% dollar-for-dollar Company Match
